What is the collective noun for a group of women all needing to be styled to the nines for the same event?
Just ask super stylist Donny Galella, who should have contacted the people at Guinness with his record 20 clients on the Dally M red carpet on Wednesday.
Glamour … Tegan Martin arrives at the Dally M Awards.
Among Galella's clients, Tegan Martin, former Miss Universe Australia, wore a spangly "mullet jumpsuit" (pants in the front, train in the back) by Cassandra Renee Couture in a colour best described as "pinot noir spilled on a tablecloth three days ago".
The nudes and metallics seen in large numbers at Monday's Brownlow in Melbourne were also big on rugby league's best-and-fairest night, with Jesse Arena also wearing a Cassandra Renee "naked" beaded gown with extra frou on the shoulders.
One of the most adorable couples of the carpet were Brisbane Broncos women's captain Ali Brigginshaw, in a bone-coloured suit, and her partner, Kate Daly, in a plunging white lace gown with a thigh-high split up the front.
Velvet was a big trend with Sammy Frizell donning one of the night's more sophisticated ensembles, a long-sleeved teal gown by bridal designer Sant Elia Sydney.
Bold gowns in block colours were everywhere on the red carpet, with Kayla Boyd and Anne Gallen both opting for red.
One of the most intricate gowns of the night was by Melbourne couturier Jason Grech, who dressed Billy Slater's wife, Nicole, in a gown covered in a print featuring scorpions that was inspired by his Maltese heritage. Her look was pulled together by stylist Lana Wilkinson, who was also responsible for some of the best looks at the Brownlow.
"The print includes the cornices from the church [there], a monogram including my initials, the scorpion from the Grech family crest and the Maltese cross," he said.
Missing from the action was one of the league's most prolific women, Phoebe Burgess, whose husband Sam and his brothers, twins George and Tom also skipped the event in the wake of recent accusations they took part in a lewd video. Burgess is pregnant with the couple's second child.
